New year, new thread.

I think "Palakpakan" trike driver is an important test case for more nuanced discussions on digital vigilantism.

It turns out he was in the right — indeed, there are times that street becomes two-way. Of course, he was still wrong in the sense that his license was expired, but that's a completely different argument and is just moving the goalposts. 100% of the reason why people are mad at him is because he allegedly counterflowed and had the audacity to mock who filmed it.

Basically, I absolutely hate Hawthorne Effect. Someone who has a camera would deliberately agitate people, film it, and act like they're level-headed in the clip.

Packaging art in some SME products start to appear suspect.

Not all of them are made by hand. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Makes me think how for decades a lot of nice things were destroyed for scrap materials or for entertainment -- like this Pontiac GTO -- and now many are scrambling to find and pay hugely for antiques.

How's the air feeling around you all? Mine's gotten to the point where it basically equates that of Baguio City during the night, though I think this amihan influence might or mightn't last the new several weeks.

Really great. I don't even have to turn the fan on most of the time because it's so chilly. Reminds me of the Jan-Feb weather in 2015 when I'd go to lunch in Makati and despite the sun rays it feels like I'm in Benguet.

Nights these days are relatively colder, around 25C° to sometimes 23C°, and once I saw 22C°. To the point that turning on a fan is usually enough. But I'm also preparing for the hell months April and May lol

PPOP is now boring, am going back to my old local alt-rock tapes.

Also, the frustrating thing about local pop music is one of a constant war between fans and what is called "evil" management.
